Change oil every time. Using same oil for long time can cause this problem. Go for unrefined oil

No oil if taken in large amounts is good food heart.
It is a common consensus that olive oil, coconut oil, rice bran and other Vegetable oils are rich in MUFA and PUFA which increase your HDL levels.
But as a whole decrease your fat intake.
Next Steps
Have cholesterol lowering medication for high cholesterol.

You should take minimum oil in your food preparations
Also no one oil can be best
You should keep rotating between different oils
For example 1 month olive oil one month sunflower oil one month rice bran etc
And physical activity with good diet is equally important
